Giappone: hotel con bar nella provincia di Hokkaidō

Our stay at Chalet Ivy Jozankei was truly memorable and one of the best luxury hotel experiences we have had in Japan. The hotel is beautifully designed, impeccably maintained, and the hospitality from most of the staff was exceptional. We were warmly welcomed by a lovely lady at reception (whose name I unfortunately did not catch), who shared that she personally grows the beautiful flowers displayed in the hotel's sitting area. That personal touch immediately made us feel at home. Mr. Tai, who checked us in, was friendly, patient, courteous and professional. He took the time to explain the room features and hotel facilities in detail, making us feel genuinely welcomed. The cleanliness deserves special recognition. I am particularly sensitive to cleanliness and usually notice dust very easily, yet I could not find a single speck of dirt anywhere in the room. It is honestly one of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed in. The lounge was another highlight. Each guest received a ¥1,000 alcoholic drink credit, and the complimentary snacks featured premium Hokkaido brands such as LeTAO, Yoshimi and Ryugetsu, making the experience feel truly luxurious. Dinner was outstanding. Every course was beautifully presented and delicious, while the restaurant staff provided attentive and polished service. The hotel's tasteful interior perfectly complemented the stunning views of the lush greenery and Toyohira River. We were also delighted to find beautifully cut and chilled melon and strawberries waiting in our room upon arrival. It was a thoughtful welcome that reflected the hotel's exceptional attention to detail. Breakfast was equally impressive, with beautifully prepared dishes that made each morning enjoyable. The private onsen in our room was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our stay, allowing us to relax while enjoying the peaceful natural surroundings. While our overall experience was excellent, I have a few suggestions for improvement. One Japanese male staff member who was on duty during check-in and later that evening came across as rather cold. On several occasions, I smiled and greeted him, but he did not acknowledge me and simply walked away. The contrast with the warmth shown by the rest of the team was quite noticeable. As such a premium property, it would also be wonderful if the hotel could offer more cultural or wellness activities, such as tea appreciation sessions, guided evening walks or seasonal experiences. During a previous stay at Capella Singapore, these activities became some of the most memorable parts of our visit, and I believe Chalet Ivy Jozankei has the perfect setting to offer something similar. I would also like to suggest a different restaurant seating arrangement for tables of four. Currently, only two guests can enjoy the beautiful river and greenery views while the other two face the interior of the restaurant. Arranging the tables perpendicular to the windows would allow all four guests to enjoy the spectacular scenery during their meal. Lastly, although we appreciated receiving tickets to the Summer Night Illumination Festival, accessing the main street requires walking up a very steep slope that is shared with vehicles, which could be challenging and potentially unsafe for elderly guests. In the future, perhaps a pedestrian bridge connecting Level 5 directly to the street level could improve accessibility and safety. Overall, Chalet Ivy Jozankei delivered an exceptional luxury experience with outstanding cleanliness, thoughtful hospitality, remarkable cuisine and beautiful surroundings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return in the future. Thank you to the entire team for making our visit so memorable.

Il letto più confortevole che abbia mai avuto in un hotel. Abbiamo dormito molto bene durante il nostro soggiorno, il letto era enorme e incredibilmente comodo, con molte piastrelle e lenzuola di alta qualità. La stanza stessa era spaziale, tranquilla e molto ben pronta a suonare, con un sacco di spazio per la custodia dei bagagli e degli oggetti personali, oltre a molte attrezzature utili. L’intero hotel ha un design moderno, pulito e è mantenuto in ottima condizione. Il personale era molto gentile, professionale, parlava inglese, che rendeva tutto facile. Anche forniscono ombrelli gratis quando pioveva, che era un pensiero. Il bar dell'hotel merita anche una menzione. Il servizio era eccellente, le bevande erano molto buone e i perfetti erano deliziosi. Poiché i perfetti sono molto popolari localmente a Sapporo, sicuramente consiglio di provare uno qui. La posizione è anche conveniente: a pochi passi da Suskino e dal centro della città di Sapporo, vicino alla stazione a pochi metri distanziati, e facile da raggiungere con taxi. In generale, questo Marriott era una vera gioiello. A causa di una tale piacevole esperienza qui, in futuro mi occuperò di rimanere in altri hotel Marriott Courtyard.

Staff are remarkably friendly, well-trained, and consistently ready to assist. The breakfast buffet offers a wide and impressive variety of choices. While the room lighting is somewhat dim for reading or applying makeup—likely a deliberate design choice—the room features a pleasant view overlooking the brewery. Additionally, the mattress and pillows provide an exceptionally comfortable and relaxing stay.

Questo hotel aereo ci ha fatto saltare via. Era così comodo e altamente finito. Ci siamo accorti tardi e siamo andati presto, così purtroppo non potevamo provare le strutture. Tuttavia, ci hanno trattato bene e ci piacerebbe rimanere di nuovo qui. Importante notare, il primo motore aereo è stato scatenato prima di quanto ci aspettavamo e ci ha svegliati. Prepari a svegliarsi se il vostro volo è più tardi di quanto ci aspettavamo. Penso che sia stato scatenato al 8AM.

Great great ryokan. We booked a room with private onsen. The whole vibe of the hotel is so luxury and relaxing. Only stayed for a night but wished we stayed longer. Dinner was amazing. Breakfast is traditional japanese so might not be everyone's cup of tea. All in all a fantastic experience with great food, great vibes and super attentive staff. Highly recommend.

L'hotel è situato alla fine di Tanukoji, quindi è a distanza dalla zona principale, anche se ancora passeggiabile. Nota che il bagno non ha spazio per mettere i vestiti secchi e dovrai portarli fuori, a meno che non ti dispiace che il fondo dei pantaloni si bagni. Non molto conveniente per i gruppi di genere misti, anche se ci è un cieco che si può disegnare ma ancora visibile dalla riflessione specchio. La stanza è situata nell'edificio allegato che ha molte scale, quindi non così conveniente anche per gli anziani. In generale, hotel decente ma consigliato solo se non si sono problemi a piedi o a guidare.

Best in class resort for design and hardware. Exceptional personal touch by managers and senior team. Terrific on-site dining options. Love the Italian, Chinese and Japanese restaurants. Ski in ski out. Beautiful indoor pool and jacuzzis. Equipped gym. Private onsens available in certain room types. Bit of a indoor bug infestation problem and general staff need more training, given hotel rate class. Otherwise the nearest to perfection stay in any ski resort anywhere in the world!

Tutto quello che posso dire è che il vostro pacchetto è eccellente. Ho apprezzato molto i vostri servizi e le vostre attrazioni. Il personale che lavora al Front desk, F&B e custodia di casa è davvero dedicato ai loro compiti. Sono davvero professionali e utili. Devo dargli un credito 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. L'idea di Rhythm Night Local è inaspettatamente grande. Questa attività è completamente nuova e unica. Grazie alla gestione dell'hotel che introduce questa idea. Il bus a rotazione gratuita è anche perfetto per i viaggiatori. Spero che lei consideri la possibilità di riparare questo servizio in modo regolare. Non posso aspettare di provare un altro hotel gestito dal vostro gruppo.

I absolutely love Hanabishi Hotel — I had the best 2-night stay here. The hotel is quiet with no large tour groups, and I really enjoyed the traditional feel and relaxing vibes. I tried all of their room types, and my favorite is the futon room with a private onsen. The futon is very comfortable, and the room itself is incredibly spacious. The staff are friendly and helpful, even assisting me with arranging taxi service. The location is convenient, only about a 10-minute drive from Hakodate Airport. I also loved both the breakfast buffet and the dinner set — they truly pampered me like I was the queen of the world. The public onsen is beautiful and huge. I will forever choose to stay here whenever I’m in the area.

Not the most convenient way to get if arriving on a international flight since there is no direct airport to Jozankei bus due to temporary or permanent suspension. However, once you arrive, the stress melts away with various types of onsen (in room, public, paid private, etc.) and the place feeds you well. The lounge area really knows how to keep the guest fed with assorted local delicacies from early morning (few pastries and Hokkaido milk with berries) to late night drinks and nibbles (rice, pickles, sweets and assorted Japanese sakes and beer). The onsen also is stocked with popsicles and full toiletries. The only subpar experience was the Kaiseki dinner which I felt it was just OK compared to many exceptional restaurants and ryokans in Japan that excels in gastronomy, on the other hand, the breakfast was tasty with great local selections (steamed potatoes with Hokkaido butter was so good). The room decor and feature is like many other ryokans in Japan and the service was also polite but not personalized nor attentive. Having said that, I would recommend this place but when I visited, most of the guests were foreigners and not Japanese.
